squelching | w1 curfew: we all chose this. willingly.

[ he doesn't actually move until he's out of the water, and then he's just. coughing a bunch of gross lake water up.

dysentery is real ]

Let's... [ coughs ] Let's not throw the guy that can't swim in the water next time.

[Given she fell into the lake with a 1 I'm just saying Sigrun got dragged out as well clinging to Ace, just flopped over like a ragdoll]

How was I supposed to know the guy who spends his life sailing doesn't know how to swim?

[It just makes no logical sense, you have to admit, hah. There she is, just lying on the grass beside Ace because wow that all was something that sure happened]

Why wouldn't you let go.

[ he feels like that's important. but also; ]

I know how to swim, I just can't anymore.

[ how does that even work ]

[internally screaming]

I can't believe you suggested the one place that has water in order for this to happen. You suck. [#:aaaaaaaaaaa:

she's still a horse]

Why am I being screamed at by a horse. [ he knows it's nimona, it just feels horrible. ] I didn't throw myself in there!

Be lucky I'm not biting you!

[a pause

she becomes not a horse and shakes out her hair like a dog. and then proceeds to glare daggers at poor sigrun from around ace like she totally did this on PURPOSE to KILL HIM (she did not)]

[ sitting up and also shaking himself off like a dog. sorry they are both like this. and then he dumps his soaking wet hat on top of her head when he sees her glaring ]

It's fine, it's fine. Not the first time I've been thrown into water like that. [ he sort of snickers to himself ] First time I somehow dragged two other people with me...?

[it's the funniest thing in the world that they both just shake off water like dogs instead of being normal, jesus

anyway. she is mollified by hat.]

... Did Argalia die? [looks at her soggy teammate with like a hint of concern but also a bit of like hehe]

... Did he jump in not knowing how to swim?

[ DID argalia die ]

Oops. [he fuckin dead

to clarify she probably did stay in the water long enough for sigrun and argalia to grab on too but i respect if if teej was just like no argalia dies]

[ what a way to die.

ace like oh well (argalia is probably not dead) ]

Anyway-- thanks for the save, Nimona.

Yeah, yeah, you better be thankful. [reaches up to push his face, but playfully

she's keeping his hat for a bit though.]

[ she can keep it he was going to let it dry somewhere anyway ]

I am. Would've been pretty embarrassing for everyone involved if I'd stayed under!

I'm fine.

[only his pride as a hero is wounded]

[ Pat pats. ]

[HIS PRIDE AS A HERO]

Oh, good. You don't wanna die as a hero.

Terrible for the reputation.

... Thanks for trying?

[ he's not sure what to say. that was embarrassing. ]

I suppose it's been a while since I had to swim.

[this will only be more embarrassing later on.]

Well, I can't judge, since I literally can't swim at all...!

[ but he is a little ]

[HIS PRIDE AS A HERO...]

[STOP I'M ALREADY SUFFERINGGGG

WHO DID THIS]

[someone is going to get midtrialed...]

[he inhaled the shark pee lake...]

We should get you a floatie.

[ he did. this is how he dies. ]

Or just don't throw me in. [ going back to grab his idk beer to drink that and get the taste of lake water out of his mouth ] Big fan of not demonstrating my anchor capabilities.
